Sorry, trantsgiving, Radius Claus and @radiatebased. The two picks are right next to each other and @radiatebased's user name is @ radiatebased. I confused the two. Fixed now.
Scorsese has some of the worst edited films of all time. I'm sure it has cost him more than one Oscar. Goodfellas looks like amateur hour at times when you really pay attention to the editing.

No.
Yes. I used to watch that movie obsessively and the shifts in placement between cuts would drive me insane.

So you watched a film "obsessively." I would assume that means you loved it? but somehow the editing is bad because of continuity errors? Pretty much everything has continuity errors. Most editors would place performance well above that on the hierarchy of needs when making a cut.
The top two things going on with Scorcese and Schoonmaker 1. Prioritizing performances(especially improved) over continuity issues. 2. It's sometimes done on purpose to mimic a character's state of mind. A good example from Goodfellas would be the final sequence before Henry's arrest.
She is absolutely not responsible for some of the "worst edited films of all-time." That's simply crazy talk.

Anyhow, drafting Scorsese grants you Thelma as your editor. Who drafts a fucking editor? And it was more than one film where the editing errors stood out to me. I actually place the blame more on Scorsese than Thelma. She only had the footage filmed to work with.

I remember learning in film class that there were a lot of little goofs and errors and quick edits they intentionally included to show the movie through paranoid, coked up Henry Hill hallucinations.
I think there's some truth to that, but I also think a lot of them were actual mistakes that Scorsese tried to play off after the fact.
I guess that was just an honest miscue. Cdev, I think King T will get my pick instead of Todd's. Todd, does that sound correct?
Also, who all hasn't picked a film yet?
I haven't. I know what I'm doing though, but I doubt anyone else is taking this film, so I'm doing the same thing Cap'n is doing.
I picked my movie right off the bat so I could focus on my cast without the worry. Plus my movie is flippin' awesome, so I couldn't guarantee it wouldn't disappear by round 2.

They are both pretty open about not caring about continuity errors. Heavy improvisation has been his style since the 70s. It's part of what makes him so successful. It's also one reason it's harder to keep continuity.
I'd say you are right and he does oversell the "artistic reasons" at times. But then again, some of the filmmakers he was influenced by were all about fucking with continuity. In the case of Italian Neorealism, it was just the reality of filming with little money and totally outside of a studio.
What? You might know something about film making and how important every role is in making a decent film? But don't you want your film to have all the star power of an all star cast that would be astronomically costly, an overpaid/overrated director, and choose the most obvious blockbuster ever as your film? Doesn't that sound like a better plan on how to choose your picks?

No, because I had a specific film that I wanted to do. I'm drafting the Double Indemnity remake I want to see.
And if you're joking, at least check which movie I'm doing first.
